The same outfit, just look different. Thankful for my sleeve. What a difference!

I plateaued at 6 months and stayed there for about a month. I tweaked my diet a bit and the weight started coming off again. Just be patient. I was sleeved July 10, now down 62 #'s and very glad with my results.

I started bootcamp Tues. and have been doing pretty good. I was stuck with a couple pounds back and forth. It's only been 4 days and I've already lost 3 #'s. That's good enough for me, since I got past that stall point. Will continue for another few days. I will do this once a month to keep myself on track.

You look great. Nice working the sleeve.

Congrats jazzeeja and ladyk, happy recovery and I will see you on the losers bench.

We were making pizza with the tortilla shells. I would always use the low carb shells and top with pizza sauce, cheese and ground sausage or pepperoni and mushrooms. Of course you can top it with what you want to make it even less calories.

I'm 5'2" and would like to join. I am on my journey to receive the gastric sleeve.

Ladyk I'm sorry that you are going through this, but the changes you made are what you decided to make. You can't force other people to make those same changes or any for that matter. Just like you had to decide for yourself, your husband will have to make that choice for himself. If you push him, he may resent it. But you just have to keep doing what you know is best for you and set the example for your family, and hopefully your husband will see how serious this is to you and decide to make changes for his-self. I know it's hard, I have some of the same problems with older kids who buy for themselves, but I know the reason why I had this surgery and I try to stick to my plan as much as possible. It's not easy but hang in there.

I do understand and I really hope he starts listening to you. We know how it feels to have to make such a serious decision as wls. Like you I worry about my kids getting to where I was and having to make the choice I made. Keep talking to your husband and explaining to him just how you feel because your babies are still young and you all can still change the way they see food. Hang in there and stick to your program and show hubby how important it is.

Great Job. I love to hear these experiences because I know I can't survive on 500 cals a day. I'm 4 mnths out and I'm above that and I'm happy with my weightloss so far. I'm like you, taking my time and doing it right for me. Thanks for the post.

What a wonderful nsv. Congrats

Great Job! Post pics so we can see the new you.

Thanks newgrandmother. I am on fitness pal. I don't like cottage cheese but I can do tuna and yogurt.

I'm still working on that. I try to drink at least 1 Protein Shake a day. I also try to drink as much Water as I can get in. I think the water drinking has really helped with the head hunger. When I drink a lot of water I'm not as hungry or should I say I don't think about food as much.

I ate the really small snickers and realized that although I love, love, love chocolate it no longer love's me back. Oh well, thanks sleeve, I didn't need it anyway

I'm doing slim in 6 and it is a great workout. I can tell that my muscles are really getting a workout and I'm losing inches already.

Thanks for the post, its very helpful.
